International Classification:

H04R 7/18

G10K 13/00
H04R 7/16
H04R 1/20

US Classification:

181171, 181172, 381392

Abstract:

A surround for supporting a diaphragm used to create acoustic waves includes a rib section extending away from the diaphragm and a membrane section that is supported by the rib section. The membrane section has a thickness in a direction substantially normal to opposing top and bottom surfaces of the membrane section which is substantially thinner than a thickness of the rib section in a direction substantially normal to opposing top and bottom surfaces of the rib section. A restoring force returning the diaphragm to a home position is contributed to more due to deformation of the rib section than to deformation of the membrane section.

H04R 7/20
H04R 7/16
H04R 7/18

US Classification:

181171, 181172

Abstract:

A surround for a diaphragm includes at least one rib section oriented to be extended during excursions of the diaphragm. The surround includes at least one membrane section supported by one or more rib sections contributing to a compliance characteristic different from the contribution of the one or more rib sections.

Bose Corporation - Framingham MA

International Classification:

H04R 1/00

US Classification:

381398, 381403, 381423, 181171

Abstract:

An electroacoustical transducer includes a bobbin, a first acoustic radiator coupled to the bobbin through a first surround having a mechanical compliance, a second acoustic radiator generally rigidly coupled to the bobbin, and a basket. The first acoustic radiator is coupled to the basket through a second surround, and the second acoustic radiator is coupled to the basket through a third surround. The first surround is constructed to cause the first acoustic radiator to move out of phase with the second acoustic radiator relative to the bobbin when actuated by the bobbin at acoustic frequencies at and above a resonant frequency of the first acoustic radiator.

Assignee:

Bose Corporation - Framingham MA

International Classification:

G10K 13/00

US Classification:

181173, 181153, 381430

Abstract:

A three dimensional acoustic passive radiator diaphragm. A diaphragm a three dimensional volume. An acoustic driver radiates pressure waves into the three dimensional volume to cause the diaphragm to expand and contract. The three dimensional passive radiator may include a core of a porous, compressible material.

Abstract:

A method for managing projects for a small business using a graphical user interface (GUI). The method includes receiving, at a current time, a request to schedule a new project at a location and a future time selected by a user, identifying a plurality of available workers of the small business available to work on the new project at the future time, displaying, within the GUI, a new project avatar of the new project at the location on a map and a plurality of available worker avatars corresponding to the plurality of available workers, and assigning a first available worker of the plurality of available workers to the new project.

US Classification:

435377, 435395, 435397, 4353051, 118505

Abstract:

A method for producing highly uniform cell colonies in a cell culture dish with the use of stencils made from an elastomeric sheet sized to fit within the cell culture dish, having a singular opening or a plurality of openings of a number, pitch and diameter configured to optimally control the geometric growth parameters of a cell colony. The uniform cell colonies are produced by placing the stencil in a cell culture dish and hydropilizing the stencil. The stencil is overlayed with cell culture media and seeded with seed cells that are preferably grown for at least a day before the stencil is removed to produce a pattern of seeded cells with controlled pitch, colony diameter and density within the culture dish that grow to become highly uniform cell colonies. A kit with culture dish, stencil, culture media and growth media is also provided.
